Nebraska and K-State have played six opponents in common this year: UL-Lafayette, Iowa State, Oklahoma, Texas Tech, Kansas and Missouri. While the numbers in these games don't guarantee anything (See: ISU), they may show a trend in favor of Nebraska.

Kansas St. - 2/4

Nebraska - 23.7

Kansas St. - 18.7

EDIT - I had Missouri listed twice.

Nice stats though.

Agreed. Especially after the Iowa State game, you can't take anything for granted. This team could implode any time (ISU) or rise up and play out of their minds (OU).

But it's something to start a conversation off of, maybe.

Did we each play mizzou twice? Just kidding thanks for the stats

 
Well, KSU has shown they can play this season. With the North title up for grabs, I'm not expecting them to just roll over.

Still, I think we can probably count on a pretty good showing from our D. They've been consistently good now all season. So the question is really the offense and will they take another step forward or revert? Last game should give them some much needed confidence and I think Watson has now found an offensive scheme that works for this group.

I expect a win, but a close game through at least the first half.

It will be a refreshing change to see our D play against a team that is predominantly run-oriented. I think the longer K-State stays in the game, the closer it will end up. NU has to get up quick and lock down Thomas. They also have to keep the ball out of Banks hands, punt the ball out of bounds and kick off out of the end zone! GBR!

 
Here's what I'm counting on. Nebraska goes into the game with the better talent. KState goes into the game with the better coach. This game comes down to talent vs. coaching. I think our talent beats Snyder's wisdom this year.

I think a lot will be determined on who can make the best adjustments. KSUcks couldn't do anything against OU and OU got up 21-0, then KSUcks made some adjustments and battled them to the end. The Missouri game was almost the opposite though, Missouri hadnt scored a touchdown after halftime in how many gams, yet they blew it open. Thomas appeared to be dragging towards the end of the game from getting the ball and pounded so often.
